We are living in the age of fancy sneakers. Every brand is trying to one-up the competition with exclusive designs. Playing off the classic heritage of both brands, Converse's Jack Purcell recently launched these classic wool camp blanket- covered sneaks. Keep your tootsies warm and toasty with on the big city streets or backwoods trails. Call them your "winter sneakers". Available at Urban Outfitters.

An updated version of the classic Pendleton Four Points brightly striped camp blanket, made of fine Merino wool. The addition of fringe dresses it up. The design really holds up since being invented for Fur Trappers.

Made of New Zealand wool and loomed in England, Hudson's Bay Four Points Blanket from Woolrich, who holds the official license. You should have it dry cleaned so it will endure year after year.
